We do this by choosing \"old world\" heritage breeds, and put them in an environment they were designed to be raised in, either on \u003cb\u003epasture or in the brush\u003c\/b\u003e where they can forage on grasses, acorns, whatever their snouts find with plenty of room to move in the sunshine, and supplemented with a \u003cb\u003eNON GMO grain\u003c\/b\u003e. When you raise pigs the way Tanner and I do, you don't have give them growth promoting drugs like sub-therapeutic antibiotics or beta-agonists which are so commonly used today in America (and illegal in many other countries). Drugs and crammed barns are a necessity to keep the price of grocery store pork low (yes meat is a commodity.. isn't that crazy?), and that is what many people want. However at 1701, we believe with all of our heart in providing a choice to those that value flavor, your health, and animal welfare first. – Catherine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farm1701","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44412598386790,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/4398\/5254\/files\/HamHocks_3000x_ef5dc4bc-8008-4cfd-bc57-7f09f4b4a2f9.webp?v=1779688436","url":"https:\/\/www.farm1701.com\/products\/smoked-ham-hocks","provider":"Farm 1701","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
